Investigators from several law enforcement agencies converged on a rural site east of Atlanta on Wednesday seeking clues to an explosion they say heavily damaged the Georgia Guidestones, a peculiar granite monument locals call 'America's Stonehenge.'
July 7, 2022, 2:29 AM -A peculiar granite monument that some have dubbed "America's Stonehenge" but a conservative politician condemned as "Satanic" was torn down on Wednesday by authorities in rural Georgia hours after it was heavily damaged in a bombing by vandals.
It said the remainder of the structure was deliberately demolished later in the day "for safety reasons," with a photo showing the entire monument reduced to rubble. The initial damage was attributed to "unknown individuals" who "detonated an explosive device" at the site. The slabs were engraved with an enigmatic message in 12 languages calling for the preservation of humankind by limiting the world's population to fewer than a half-billion people to live "in perpetual balance with nature," according to official translations of the text.
Following news of the Guidestones' bombing on Wednesday, Taylor suggested on Twitter that the monument's demise was an act of divine intervention.
